Question:
The questioner asks: Do you advise da'iyah (preachers) and students of knowledge, if they are qualified in knowledge and it is attested to them, to use visual media for da'wah?
Answer:
Whoever is qualified with knowledge calls people to Allah through permissible means: through lectures, lessons, sermons, the Friday prayer, and writing. As for whoever does not have knowledge, it is not permissible for him to engage directly in da'wah, because he may say something for which there is no evidence, or issue a fatwa on something for which there is no evidence. Yes, knowledge is a condition for da'wah[Yusuf 12:108] that is, with knowledge [An-Nahl 16:125] and wisdom is knowledge. Yes.
